2023 RETREAT DATE:
Apr 30 - May 06

Imagine the most tranquil island on earth. Chances are you’re thinking of St. John.  Though it is the smallest of the three U.S Virgin Islands, St. John’s unspoiled beauty is perhaps the greatest found anywhere in the Caribbean. With 60% of its land area comprising a pristine national park, St. John is as far away as you can get from civilization, but close enough to exactly how a relaxed existence should live!   The St. John couples retreat is held in Cruz Bay, which is within walking distance of everything for the entire week! Beautiful, clear blue water, tropical breezes and an island that welcomes Little Pink with open arms is what you can expect when you step off the ferry when you arrive. A visit to St. John is a must for those seeking true escape.  

The financial environment of not having to pay for anything was a huge stress relief, and that is priceless.
